Kentucky makes like zero sense, who cares if UPS HQ is there.


Most major catalog/online companies are located there. Amazon has one of their biggest facilities there already for distribution. They have been buying land in the area pretty heavily already recently.

Your comment about UPS is pretty naive considering the regions current businesses

huge educated population/skilled workforce

as does this region as well. There are 6 major universities all within an hour of each other
